Hi all,

It's been a week now I drive my Jazz 1.5 E Spec.

Already done my first 1000 km service.

So far so good.

The only problem I noticed is the driver's door a bit hard to close on the first try. Some said it's a defect from Honda's factory in Melaka.

What should I do and is it only me facing this problem?

Does installing accessories (DRL, reverse camera, bodykits) at shop outside will cause warranty to become invalid?

Bodykit is okay. But if something to with wiring for example : DRL, Fog Lamp, make sure to install it at shop/someone that can install it properly without messing with the wiring

is it really save fuel?

Depends on your driving style. And if you stick to the stock tyres can save a lot because Honda is claiming 21km/l.

Hi Jazzers,

I have heard some of old-timers (otai) said that for Jazz, semi-synthetic 5w30 is the best. Salesman/technician will offer full synthetic of course because it is the most expensive.

Even if you check the official Honda Malaysia website in maintenance, the price for engine oil replicate the price of mineral engine oil.

So I assume for Jazz engine mineral type engine oil is sufficient enough. My question, is choosing semi synthetic over fully synthetic is the right choice? In terms of cost of course.

anyone upgraded their stock tires?

time to change new shoes for my V spec. biggrin.gif

planning to upgrade the size on stock rims.

195/55R16?
195/50R16?
Or 205/50/R16? tongue.gif
Any recommendation guys?

Personally i think 185 abit narrow, slightly bumpy when driving at high speed.

I changed my stock tires to 205/50/16, never looked back. Better turning and handling.

do you have any pics of what the 205/50R16 tires look like mounted on the stock rims? biggrin.gif

what about rubbing issue when uneven road? 205/50 is what I'd like to use if they don't lead to rubbing issues.

Stock spring or lowered spring ya?

I wouldn't recommend to use stock rims as it would make you tire look like donuts.

This is my baby Jazzureen. thumbup.gif

The problem here is that the fully synthetic oil in honda is a thinner 0w-20 viscosity oil while the semi and mineral are both 5w-30. So, it will be not so fair a comparison.

The 0w-20 does not feel to be very long lasting. I change it out at around 5k mileage. But, given the price of it at a little less than RM100 per bottle. It is hugely cheaper than most fully synthetic oils. In fact, it is only some RM10 or RM20 on top of the blue bottled semi synthetic oil.

How is 0w-20 if cheaper than RM100 per bottle? At Honda SC the price of fully synthetic oil after GST is RM129. It is recommended for Jazzers to use 5w-30 and semi is enough right.

I asked one of the old timers they said you can maintain your stock V Spec rim and upgrade the new shoe to 205/50/16 but your tire will look like donuts. biggrin.gif
